Mom making me feel guilty. Wwyd?

I started back to work last monday. There is a 1 hour gap from when I need to leave to when dh gets home, so I bring lo to mil to watch him (she lives 2 min away). Today my mom says she thinks hes having too much time with dh family and is upset that she only sees him once a week. She lives 25 min away and dh has a truck that gets only 17mpg. I say that to her and she responds "you have 4 days off". Well no, I have 2 days off, but 4 days where I dont need a sitter. out of my days off I only see dh for about 8hr each day (thurs & fri when he gets out and sat &sun before I go in). I'm not bringing my son to mil because I like her more, but out of convince. And its not that I don't want my mom to see her grandson, but I want time where my family is together.

And honestly, I wouldn't leave lo with mil unless I had to. They have 2 dogs that fight terribly if they are not separated. I was there with lo during one particularly bad fight (like to the death fight). And all I could do was shut the door and keep them one room. Luckily lo didn't get hurt, but my sil got 12 stitches. What if that happens in 6 months when lo is on the floor playing? I make then shut the dogs in their cages when hes there
